A Florida woman was attacked by a 7-foot alligator on Tuesday while she was walking her dog next to a lake.
Officials with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) told Fox 13 on Tuesday that the agency received a report of a 43-year-old woman being bitten by an alligator, 7 feet 7 inches long, at around 6:00 p.m. local time when walking her dog next to a small lake at Palm Harbor in Pinellas County, Florida.
The woman was transported to a local hospital by members of Pinellas County emergency services with serious injuries suffered on the lower part of her right leg.
Melissa Laurie, 28, from Berkshire, was dragged underwater by the ten-foot-long reptile that attacked her and sister Georgia as they swam in a lagoon in Mexico.
